"I jumped the fence," Tran said when asked by the officer how he got on the grounds, the report states.

The Secret Service officer verified that Tran did not have outstanding warrants or prior convictions, but also confirmed that the president, who was in the White House at the time, was not expecting him. Tran was taken into custody without incident, according to police.

Surveillance footage showed that Tran climbed a Treasury Building fence, which is next to the White House security fence, the report said.
